The
Roberts Space Industries has a new Letter from the Chairman commemorating
the news that Star Citizen has passed the $26 million mark, triggering
yet another stretch goal for the space combat game. The new feature is an
enhanced capital ship system, which will now work FTL-style: "Lead a damage
control team to fight fires and repair key systems during battle, control
internal bulkheads to slow boarders and man a number of consoles, like
navigation and engineering, that will make commanding a capital ship feel even
more immersive." The feature creep is not over yet, as they outline a new ship
company and starter ship as $28 million stretch goals, saying (presuming this is
reached) those backers who
prefer the new Mustang ship to the original Aurora starter ship can choose it
instead.

Nice straw man you built there. Kick it hard, little buddy! KICK THAT POOR LITTLE STRAW MAN UNTIL IT BLEEDS!

As far as all the money getting pushed into this game it's pretty simple really. We were all PC Gamers as kids and had fond memories of Wing Commander, Privateer, Xwing, and various other space sims that we loved. Now we are all grown up and have jobs and money that we can contribute to whatever we want and we want Star Citizen! It's all about buying power and we believe CR is the guy that will deliver what we want. Even if it's a rehashed better version of Freelancer/Wing Commander/Privateer I would be happy with that.

Hey, surprisingly, most people in this thread say exactly the same thing. OMG, it's almost like you pulled the previous 497 paragraphs straight out of your ass!

FYI I originally had the 300i package for $60 and upgraded to the MISC Freelancer $120 package after 5 months. I'll also probably buy an additional 325A package for $70 so I can have an extra character slot for my NPC wingman to cover me on those long hauls. Either that or I will just wait and buy another character slot for like $15-20 when the game comes out and use my free Mustang starter ship from the $28 million stretch goal for the NPC wingman. BF4 (BF3.5) costs what? $60 for the base game and another $60 for their premium service, yeah screw that. I am basically putting my gaming money for the year into a single game. Oh noes I might have to cut back on pizza and beer...

Cool story, bro. Please give us the specs on your PC as well, as we're all TOTALLY interested in hearing about it. What kinda car do you drive? Does it come with the chrome 17 inch rims????
